What other cameras should I be trying

Hi Zorkiphoto,

It's true that I've listed pretty known cameras. Now a list of cameras that are not reviewed so often. Note that some of them are very expensive:

Rectaflex SLR
Wrayflex
Zunow SLR
Bell&Howell Foton
Rollei vertical 35mm SLR system (SL2002?)
Kodak Signet (any)
Kodak Ektra
Kodak Medalist (masterpiece)
Pentacon SLR
Ihagee Exa
Werra (any)
Zorki-3 and 5
Kiev-15 TEE
Super Ricohflex
Rollei Magic
Yashica's ultra ugly AF SLR
Fujica STX (fuji goes small)
Fujica ST-901
Fujica 35EE (real beauty)
Mamiya XTL (complex)
Mamiya NC1000 (nice)
Mamiya-35 early rangefinders
Kalimar Reflex

My God, what a ridiculous thread. Your list will end up containing every camera ever made. APUGers are just plain crazy.

Stephen, if you should find yourself back home in Godzone, then, there are many possibilities in residence not so very far away in Tasmania, if you can dally for a few days en route. Including aforementioned: Exaktas; Fujica RF; Voigtlander Vito BR, C, & Vitessa Ultron RF; Contaflexes in droves; KW Praktinas; Rolleiflex 2.8 and Teles; M42 SLRs galore, including Contax D, Zeiss/Voigtlander Icarexes, early Praktica FX with waist level and prism finders, Yashica Electro X & Olympus FTL; & Voigtlander Bessamatic SLR. The Bessamatic in particular is well worth trying, both for the quality of lenses and its ability to handle like a camera 30 years younger than what it is. Swapping back and forth between films with a late Contaflex and a few magazine backs is revelatory, and fun, too, as you're being enlightened about just how good the best modular lens assemblies can actually be optically. You have my email, I think, so drop me a line.
Cheers,
Brett

You do not have to be crazy, but it helps.
